Damon Foy, 50, from Kerhonkson, New York, pleaded guilty to murdering his girlfriend Alberta Dale, 44, between March 31 and April 1, 2024. He dismembered her body and kept her severed head in a suitcase with a flower. Prosecutors found the remains during a search of Foy’s apartment on April 2, after which he confessed to killing Dale because she "played him like a sucker." As part of a plea deal supported by Dale’s family, Foy will likely receive 23 years to life in prison.

Story summary
Damon Foy, a 50-year-old man from Kerhonkson, New York, pleaded guilty to the murder of Alberta Dale, a 44-year-old woman from Pennsylvania. The killing occurred between March 31 and April 1, 2024. According to court documents, Foy dismembered Dale’s body and kept her severed head in a suitcase with a flower. During an interview on April 3, 2024, Foy expressed his frustration over feeling used by Dale throughout their relationship.
Foy had a history of domestic violence against Dale; previously, police found a gun at his property during one incident involving them both. When cops arrived at Foy’s home on April 1, 2024, to search for Dale after she went missing, he told them, “She’s in there, I killed her.” Under a plea agreement, Foy is expected to receive 23 years to life in prison, which is two years less than the maximum sentence of 25 years to life.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
